What you see is not a mistake, it is something that you must read in order to understand what you need to do to set up the environment for installing rubies.

No mistakes; just instructions. Basically, RVM tells you that Ruby 1.9.3 has dependencies that need to be installed before continuing. You can install these dependencies using a package manager such as aptitude (Linux Ubuntu) or Homebrew (Mac).

In your case you will need Homebrew since you are on a mac.

If you do not have a homegrown yet, go here to install it. Once it is installed, install the missing dependencies. In your case:

$ brew install libksba

Now let's get started with installing Ruby 1.9.3:

 $ rvm install 1.9.3 # install 1.9.3 $ rvm use 1.9.3 --default # makes ruby 1.9.3 the default

Please feel free to post if you need further assistance.
